Private Central Bank!

As president, Zachary Taylor did not hesitate to abandon his own interests and resolutely resist the expansion of slavery in the United States.

Clearly, his stance and decisions not only harmed his own interests but also put him at odds with other Southern plantation slave owners.

In this situation, the slave owners whose interests were harmed had reason to eliminate this huge "obstacle," and they certainly had the power to do so!

However, Chen Mo's answer was somewhat unexpected.

"Your fellow villagers did have this idea, but before they could even make a move, someone else beat them to it."

Zachary Taylor was taken aback upon hearing Chen Mo's words.

Not them? There are other people involved.

Zachary Taylor felt uneasy and his mood became complicated after he had only been president for a little over a year.

In fact, Zachary Taylor, with his straightforward and tough personality, offended more than just Southern slave owners during his presidency.

On July 29, 1844, the Britain Congress passed the Peel Act, establishing the Bank of Bank of England as the currency issuing bank. This privately controlled bank officially became the central bank of the Britain, responsible for implementing national monetary and financial policies such as currency issuance and financial supervision.

In any country, whoever controls the money supply is the absolute master of all industry and commerce.

Thus, the Britain economy was now under the control of bankers.

International bankers' targets were clearly not limited to Britain. The United States, a former Britain colony and a rapidly developing emerging power, had been a tempting target for bankers since the very beginning of its independence.

International bankers have long sought to establish a private United States bank in the United States to make a profit. They have been planning and working on this for many years and have successfully created a private central bank twice, but both times they failed to maintain it in the long term due to the intervention of the president and Congress.

However, international bankers did not give up. As powerful capitalists, they wielded considerable political influence, which is why they were able to successfully establish private United States. central banks twice.

The creation of private central banks is inevitable. Faced with enormous profits and power, any person or force that stands in their way will be annihilated!

Whether it's a member of parliament or the president!

Even the sudden death of the previous ninth president, William Henry Harrison, a war hero, just one month after taking office, was inextricably linked to these international bankers.

Henry Clay, the Whig Party leader, played an extremely important role in this.

He was the founder of the first privately owned central bank in the United States, the founder of the "First Bank of the United States," one of the founding fathers of the United States, an important successor to Alexander Hamilton's ideas on private central banking, and a favorite of bankers.

He was an excellent orator, a rigorous thinker, and quite persuasive. He gathered around him a group of members of parliament who supported the banking industry and were supported by bankers. Under his organization Whig Party was formed.

The Whig Party vehemently opposed President Jackson's independent banking policy and remained committed to restoring a privately owned central banking system.

William Henry Harrison was chosen by him as his presidential candidate, and he wanted to use him to establish a private central bank. He repeatedly "taught" Harrison how to govern.

However, William Henry Harrison was clearly not willing to be his puppet, and after Harrison was elected president, the conflict between the two became increasingly acute.

Henry Clay, who thought he could Harrison orders as an "emperor emeritus," had someone write the president's inaugural address without Harrison's consent, but Harrison refused and personally drafted an inaugural address of more than 8,000 words.

In this document, which systematically expounded his ideas on governance, he vehemently opposed Henry Clay's policy of establishing a private central bank and abolishing independent finance, thus deeply offending the interests of bankers.

March 4, 1841, was a cold day. President Harrison delivered his inaugural address in the cold wind and caught a chill as a result.

This was not a big deal for President Harrison, who had a military career, but his illness strangely worsened and he died on April 4.

By 1849, with the election of Zachary Taylor, a war hero also chosen by the Whig Party, the hope of restoring the central bank seemed within reach.

The ultimate dream of all bankers is to establish a private central bank that is completely modeled after the Bank of England, which means that bankers will ultimately determine the fate of the country and its people.

They assumed that soldiers, being inexperienced in politics, would be easy to control. They believed that once elected based on their military achievements, prestige, and power, they would become more dependent on the Whig Party in politics, thus becoming puppets of Henry Clay.

However, their wishful thinking has clearly failed again.

Like William Henry Harrison, Zachary Taylor had his own ideas and principles and was unwilling to become Henry Clay's puppet.

Zachary Taylor had privately expressed his negative attitude towards establishing a central bank.

"The idea of establishing a central bank is dead, and it will not be considered during my term."

In the end, it wasn't the central bank's idea that led to his demise, but rather his own.

The two presidents, both war heroes, who were successively elected by the Whig Party, died suddenly one after the other.

Their deaths seem normal and unrelated, but upon closer examination, there are many doubts and mysteries, and there is some hidden internal connection.

After listening to Chen Mo recount the entire story, Zachary Taylor felt a chill run down his spine.

He never imagined that the real culprit would not be the Southern slave owners he thought they would kill, but the Whig Party that nominated him as a presidential candidate, or more precisely, the Whig Party leader Henry Clay and the bankers behind him. After all, not all members of the Whig Party supported the establishment of a private central bank.

The thought that the lives of two President of the United States had been manipulated by a group of bankers filled Zachary Taylor with rage, but was followed by a deep sadness.

This world is ultimately a capitalist world. Behind these presidents are all kinds of forces. It's just that he chose to be ruthless and prioritize national interests, ignoring Henry Clay's demands. As a result, he ended up like this, being killed by the bankers whose demands were not met.

Even without bankers, there are other capitalists, factory owners, ranchers, and slave owners who will control United States.
